KT-400 Dragon Ultra Platinum - Random Shutdows

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.soyo (More info?)

if your temps are okay ie cpu ~ 40-45 case ~ 25 to 35 then look in
the BIOS and see if the thermal protection is set too low. It may be set
at like 50C, and the actual cpu core temp may be hitting that mark, so
maybe nudge it up a bit . but you are right, dust is a cooler killer, so
keep it fairly clean .

I turned off the fan overheat setting in the BIOS & updated my video card
driver. It took a while to boot up after that, but the system has been
running steady for the last 36 hours w/o it shutting down. Not sure exactly
what was wrong, but it seems to be fixed now.

Thanks for your help.
